I think this method of removing fish waste from AP systems has its use. I ran almost double fish ratios early on in my AP and separated 50%waste from the system for dirt plants. So this applies to a person who wanted a design to harvest more fish from their AP than the standard ratios allow. Waste contain valuable nutrient and it won't go to "waste" this way.Running this way ensures more than adequate nutrient will be available for the high density of plants in the AP system.

And if you leave it sealed up it will produce methane and blow up (Not like explode but will break the container). Don't believe me? Fill up a milk gallon and leave it in the sun for a few days. Big...stinky...mess

I would say simply spread the poo directly around the plants as a side dressing fertilizer. I wouldn't leave it sealed up in anything, heck even letting the wet stuff sit in a bucket will probably produce a stink that will gag you. If you must leave it sit around for a time before using it, leave an air stone bubbling in it.

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>Adding water to the dried waste will allow the nutrient to become available to the plant roots. Since these bacteria multiply in the absence of oxygen a constant adequate oxygen supply will extend shelf life and over a period of time releases all its nutrients to the stored water . You can, if you wish, also freeze it. </p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>A day may be too long as these bacteria multiply very quickly. You can pass it through a sieve ( fine mesh ), spread it in direct sunlight, or by artificial drying (oven ).</p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>You can't bottle/store it for any period as it will be overcome with anaerobic bacteria which smells lousy and when used on soil based plants will harm them by the toxins they produce. However, you can dry it and use it to fertilize your plants when needed.</p>
